If experts cherry-pick the science they accept, so will the public.
Hypocrisy kills trust in science.
@harvardmed complains that parents won't vaccinate their kids. Then hosts a fat acceptance panel denying the harms of obesity.
Don't expect the public to accept all the science if you won't.
Dr. Chuck Dinerstein and I explain for @ACSHorg.
Our scientists> literally any politician.
Don't learn chemistry from politicians. Never ends well.
Check out my guy Dr. @JoshBloomACSH in this video instead.*
*He's an actual chemist.
We smack down unscientific silliness. But we need your help to keep doing it.
If you enjoy our work, please donate. $100 becomes $200; $200 becomes $400. @adolaskie explains in the video below.
Thank you as always to our supporters!
What does your support for @ACSHorg actually do?
✅$250 exposes useless supplements
✅$100 debunks drug myths
✅$50 confronts chemical scares
Every dollar you give now is DOUBLED—up to $152,000 thanks to our board.
@adolaskie breaks down the details:
Scientific findings have a curious habit of gaining certainty as they travel.
A cautious association becomes a definitive headline.
A new AI-assisted scientific reviewer offers a way to interrupt that journey.
Separating science from slop.
A new AI-powered research tool could help the public make sense of exaggerated health headlines.

"When divorced parents disagree about childhood vaccination, the decision is catapulted to the courts."
That doesn't always end well...
Mom: opposes vaccines entirely. Described as “crunchy.”
Dad: no vaccine-lover himself, refused the COVID shot, wants routine preschool vaccinations for his kids.
Who decides? acsh.org/news/2026/11/06/vac…
"It doesn't take an extraordinary intellect to get famous on YouTube. In fact, 'the dumber, the better' might as well be its motto."

Eating ferociously hot peppers for Instagram fame is for dummies.
Our chemist Dr. @JoshBloomACSH explains.
YouTube idiots eat the world's hottest peppers. What could possibly go wrong? acsh.org/news/2026/11/05/you…
Quaalude virtually disappeared from the American market years ago. Now, it's back.
Why?
Answer from our @JoshBloomACSH and @reason's @dr4liberty below.
Honesty is the best policy with your doctor.
If it needs to be said, we did...
Don't lie to your doctor. They can't help you if you deceive them.
A physician explains: Dr. House was right: patients lie

Peptides. Some are established medicines, others are experiments—sometimes conducted on users themselves.
Let's pull apart the science, marketing, and regulatory maze to get to the truth. acsh.org/news/2026/11/04/nav…
Turmeric isn't a cure-all.
This revelation was devastating to our communications director, who began to rely on the overhyped spice for everything from acne to congestion.
Throwback Tuesday: That one time I discovered turmeric is not a cure-all. @ACSHorg sure has some great legacy content 😜

Extra, extra - Read All About It!
Great science journalism starts here👇🏽
We've got much more in motion. Announcement with details here:

A handful of activist groups is running a panic-inducing campaign against PFAS.
Used to make everything from firefighting foam to critical medical devices, there's no evidence they pose a risk to public health.

"You can accept all the evidence on every topic, and encourage the public to do so as well. But you can’t selectively mix science and politics and expect everyone to treat you as serious medical authorities—because you aren’t." I agree with @camjenglish. acsh.org/news/2026/10/28/big…
We have a new president.
We're excited for what's coming next.
Check out the details below.
We're launching some incredible projects as I step into the presidency @ACSHorg.
Family-focused content, major media appearances, partnerships with leading science communicators.
@adolaskie and I talked all about it here. Preview in the 🧵below.

"Cohen's bill would transfer authority to assess medical usefulness and drug-related risks—and to make scheduling decisions—from law enforcement to HHS, where those judgments more rationally belong." @DrugPolicyOrg @d4dprorg @ACSHorg @rachel_johns0n reason.com/2026/10/29/rep-st… via @reason
Aging eyes may struggle to read the dinner menu, but a prescription eye drop promises to make reading glasses optional.
This clever optical workaround may provide hours of clearer vision.

Obesity isn't harmful. GLP-1s are a genocide against overweight people. 🙃
"We’re living under fascism for fat people."
So claimed a panel at @harvardmed.
Big fat mistake: Harvard Medical School promotes 'body positivity.' acsh.org/news/2026/10/28/big…
